1.3.3 Enabling device and hold-to-run functionality
Three-position enabling device
The three-position enabling device is located on the FlexPendant. When
continuously held in center-enabled position, the three-position enabling device
will permit robot motion and any hazards controlled by the robot. Release of or
compression past the center-enabled position will stop the robot motion.
Hold-to-run function in manual high speed mode
The hold-to-run function for manual high speed allows movement in conjunction
with the three-position enabling device when the button connected to the function
is actuated manually. This hold-to-run function can only be used in manual high
speed mode. In case of hazard, release or compress the three-position enabling
device.
How to use the hold-to-run function for manual high speed mode is described in
the operating manual for the controller.

CAUTION
The person using the three-position enabling device is responsible to observe
the safeguarded space for hazards due to robot motion and any other hazards
related to the robot.
CAUTION
For safe use of the three-position enabling device, the following must be
implemented:
• The three-position enabling device must never be rendered inoperational
in any way.
• If there is a need to enter safeguarded space, always bring the FlexPendant.
This is to enforce single point of control.
